Unlocking an Export

Unlock a locked File Storage export to allow deletions (in the case of a delete lock) or updates, moves, and deletions (in the case of a full lock).

Resource unlocking is available using the API only. Run the RemoveExportLock operation to remove a lock from an export. You can also override export locks.

Required IAM Policy

To remove locks, in addition to permissions to manage exports, you need permissions to manage locks.

To unlock an export, you must have RESOURCE_LOCK_REMOVE permissions.

    1. On the Mount Targets list page, select the mount target that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the mount target, see Listing Mount Targets.
    2. On the details page, select Exports.
    3. Select the export that you want to unlock.
    4. On the export's details page, next to Resource Locking, select Remove.

  • Use the oci fs export remove command and required parameters to unlock an export:

    oci fs export remove --export-id <export_OCID> --type <lock_type>
